CHARTING GREEN HYDROGEN FOR HEAVY INDUSTRY

Video produced by Australian National University (ANU) showcasing RP2.001 Green hydrogen supply modelling for industry. Led by Professor Joe Coventry, the project developed an interactive web tool that calculates the cost of green hydrogen as a replacement for fossil fuels in heavy industry, and examines how the reliability of hydrogen supply impacts its cost.
